I used a couple of the black-top, orange-bottom patches recently, and two were to fix tube
failures near the valve (the junction between valve rubber and tube rubber). These holes were
somewhat large in comparison to a thorn, but were they too big for the patch? (the patches were
rather large in comparison to the hole) My big mistake was not waiting overnight to try the
patches. Is it feasible to treat small blow-out type tube failures with patches? I'm not talking
about the huge explosive ones that rip the tube in a starburst pattern... just the small
psssssssst-type ones at the valve stem.
Yes, I'm seating my tubes in the tire before I inflate...
TIA!
